​I just finished season 2 of Stranger Things, and while I thoroughly enjoyed Steve's "jerk to redeemable human being metamorphosis" from season 1, I was even more pleasantly surprised when he became...

Dustin's impromptu dating coach dispensing the following truth nuggets in season 2:

​ON PRIMPING

​"Farrah Fawcett" hairspray and perfect mullet aside, it pays to stand out from the herd. Girls (and women) look for men with distinguishing features and a specific style. Whether it's clothing, facial hair, or accessories, we as men have near infinite freedom on how exactly we choose to look.

There are 5 total physical areas that men can alter to improve their odds in dating- physique, face, health, style, and energy.

Side note:The character "Billy" on the show is a supreme douche, but you know what, he gets the girls, so he's obviously doing something right. How well does he do with the 5 areas from above?

​FEELING THE ELECTRICITY

​Steve does a masterful job at describing that incredible feeling of chemistry that sometimes occurs between a man and woman as "electricity." He goes on further to say when you feel the electricity, it's time to make a move.

Sometimes the electricity's there, and sometimes not, but too many men in real life feel it but don't ever take a chance, and therefore miss out on incredible adventures.

Steve's so close on this one! It's less about not caring and more about them understanding you can live your life without them. This is the concept that I refer to as challenge, and it works best when an emotional connection has already been established.

With so many men rushing in when chemistry has been established, taking it slow shows them that you're different, independent, and someone worthy of their time.
